You can find a percentage of any number by simply moving the decimal point. In 105, you are seeking 5%. The easiest way to do this is to move the decimal point two places to the left. This yields you 1% of the number. If you were seeking 10%, you would only move one place value left.

In order to find what 42% of off something is you times that number by 0.58 because 1 - 0.48 = 0.58 Therefore if you times the original number by 0.58 to get 105, dividing 1…05 will get you the original number. In this case 105/0.58 = 181.0344827586206896551724137931 Another Example Is: £20 is the Special Sale Price of a Top.
